Data Note 30

Since Fiscal Year 1988, the
Institute for Community Inclusion has administered the National Survey
of State Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Agencies' Day
and Employment Services. The FY 2009 survey included a module to assess
the ways in which state intellectual and developmental disabilities
(IDD) agencies collaborate with their state vocational rehabilitation
(VR) agencies to support integrated employment outcomes for adults with
IDD. A total of 40 agencies responded to the module. Their responses
provide a broader understanding of the relationship between the two
types of state agencies, and the ways in which they work together to
provide integrated employment services.
